From the BBC:
Muslims deny plan to upset Luton soldier parade
... A Muslim protester accused of abusing soldiers at a homecoming parade claims he did not intend to upset anyone... They are heard on video calling troops "murderers" and "terrorists" while opponents labelled them "scum". District Judge Carolyn Mellanby was shown a video of them shouting: "British soldiers, murderers", "British soldiers go to hell", "baby killers", "terrorists" and "rapists".
Mr Abdul, 29, said ... "We chose our words carefully. We did not intend to distress or alarm anyone," he said, "We meant they are killing people when there is no justification for killing them. The war was illegal. Anyone that kills was a murderer. We are not judging an individual, we are judging the armed forces as an entity."
That's got to be up there with the wanker in Denmark who tried to kill that cartoonist chappy because he had associated Islam with violence.

It's called doublethink and it seems to be catching:

Arggghhh the Harman defence gambit? Scream blue murder all the way to court and then roll over like a kitten when in front of the judge.
Oooh. Just had the stoning scene from the Life of Brian come into my head then! Naturally, choosing my words carefully I wouldn't dare single out any particular individual for some good old fashioned stoning... Oh no, perish the thought. But an entity or faith that advocates doing harm in the name of their religion? Well, why not, seems we're on the same page there.
